LONDON, England, September 3.— Fresh and in some respects novel is the attempt to Initlate a revival of the fortuned of the liberal party, probably on lines ihdependent of the present coalition which is being or- ganized in Manchester.

Candidates- for parliamerit from al- most every part of Great Britain and representatives of liberalism In the universities have stated their inten- tion of being present. The ostensible purpose of the con- ferénce will be to discuss lines upon which its policy in industry should proceed, but the promoters, whom is a committee of officlals of the Manchester Liberal Federation, are confident that the whole future of the Aiberal party will come under review, A feature of the Grasmere gathering upon which stress I8 being laid is the absence of party leaders and party officials. ‘It is hoped to plan & still bigger affair on national lines at Grasmere next summer.

Ramsey Muir. who accepted the in- vitation to contest for a seat from Rochdale at the next general election, will open the conference September 25 with an address on “Liberal History and Ideals.” The subjects to be dis- cussed the other days will include control of industry, coal, railways, taxation, unemployment, family wage, ete.
